Best screen of them all, February 21, 2009
This review is from: Nokia N800 (Electronics)
The Nokia internet Tablet was the Poor Man's iPhone/iPod Touch years before the Apple versions came out. It's more like an internet machine that plays media, while the Touch is the reverse. it can't compete with the iPod for music playing, but it's passable and has the zippiest internet radio out there.
And no, it's not a cell phone, but VOIP works well (FREE calls that integrate well with GrandCentral.com). You can even do half-arsed, hand-held video calls on it - something the Big Guys still haven't came up with yet. And the general internet functionality is tops, even compared to the i-Rigs.
Most of all, it has one the the biggest and most brilliant handheld screens out there. Bigger than the Apples, sharper and contrasty-er than the Archos. Movies - esp. wide screen - look GREAT on this. With the stereo speakers (take THAT, iPod Touch) and prop-up stand, it's like having a little TV media player in your pocket. With the 16 gb cards coming down in price, you can load 2 of those babies into this for 30+gbs of media storage.
You can't do better for this price.

Good Device over expensive Tablets, January 27, 2009
This review is from: Nokia N800 (Electronics)
This is was my first tablet and I still love it. It could do anything I expect from a Table/PMP. There are so many free applications available from [...] which can trun this device into a mini computer. I could surf the websites (even flash based, but not all), play music, video and check emails on it, do a text chat and even I could do VOIP though Skype version of OS2008. So overall I like this tablet very much. Only thing I did not like about its shape, the way its has fatty on top and sleek in bottom.

Pretty cool...., August 17, 2009
This review is from: Nokia N800 (Electronics)
I bought an N800 as an alternative to an e-reader...I figured the added functionality of the internet tablet would make up for any limitations. The only problem I have is that I can't reformat some pdf documents the way I'd like...they're too small for the screen but if I enlarge them, I lose the ability to "arrow" over to the next page. If anyone has a fix for this, I'd love to hear it...Other than that, I'm very happy with it.
